I use abusive language, such as, name-calling, insults, sarcasm or swearing.

People tell me that I become too angry, too quickly.

I am easily annoyed and irritated and then it takes a long time to calm down.

When I think about the bad things people did to me or the unfair deals that I have gotten in life, I still get angry.

I often make critical, judgmental comments to others, even if they do not ask for my advice or help.

I use passive-aggressive behaviours, such as ignoring the other person or promising to do something and then “forgetting” about it to get the other person to leave me alone.

At times, I use aggressive body language and facial expressions, like clenching my fists, staring at someone, or deliberately looking intimidating.

When someone does or says something that angers me, I spend a lot of time thinking about what cutting replies I should have used at the time or how I can get revenge.

It is very hard to forgive someone who has hurt me even when they have apologised and seem very sorry for having hurt me.

When I get really angry about something, I sometimes feel physically sick (headaches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, etc.) after the incident.

I always have to win an argument and prove that I am “right.”

I usually make excuses for my behaviour and blame other people or circumstances for my anger (like job stress, financial problems, etc.)

After arguing with someone, I often hate myself for losing my temper.

I react to frustration so badly that I cannot stop thinking about it or I can’t sleep at night because I think about things that have made me angry.

Sometimes I feel so angry that I’ve thought about killing another person or killing myself.

After arguing with someone, I often hate myself for losing my temper.

I know that some people are afraid of me when I get angry or they will “walk on eggshells” to avoid getting me upset.

I get so angry that sometimes I forget what I said or did.

At times I have gotten so angry that I have slammed doors, thrown things, broken items, or punched walls.

I have been inappropriately jealous and possessive of my partner, accusing him or her of cheating - even when there was no evidence that my partner was being unfaithful.

Sometimes I have forced my partner to do sexual behaviour that he or she does not want to do, or I have threatened to cheat on my partner if he/she does not do what I want them to do to please me sexually.

At times I have ignored my partner on purpose to hurt him or her, but have been overly nice to other family members or friends.

I have kept my partner dependent on me or socially isolated so that I can control and manipulate their feelings and actions so they will not leave me or end our relationship.

I have used threats to get my way or win an argument.

I feel that people have betrayed me a lot in the past and I have a hard time trusting anyone.
